WhatsApp for Windows Phone updated, squashes more bugs

What’s up? Are you guys and gals getting ready for your big weekend plans? Before you run off and have fun, you might want to update an app a lot of you really use a lot –WhatsApp for Windows Phone. Tips are rolling in of an update. Let’s check it out.

If you head to the Store you’ll find yourself looking at a WhatsApp listing that was updated to version 2.10.529 today. What’s in store when you update? Miscellaneous bug fixes.

Sure enough after updating we poked around and didn’t find anything new staring us right in the face. So not a big update, but a very welcome one. It’s nice to see WhatsApp giving the Windows Phone platform some fairly frequent updates in recent weeks after months of nothing.

WhatsApp is available on both Windows Phone 7.x and 8. I see the update on my Windows Phone 8 device, but don’t have 7.x laying around to check. The app is free and you can grab it here in the Store, use the QR code below, or swipe to the right in our app.

WhatsApp for Windows Phone updated, squashes more bugs

+920, today is being a GREAT day for wp8! instagram support on 6tagram, apps being updated, amber being released for 925's (great news for us, with 920), bing being updated and others!
it seems that finally wp8 is atracting love from other companies!

I agree, i can't wait for the new 6tagram app to compare it myself with Instance and then decide which one is better .... a friend of mine is a Galaxy S3 user and love Instagram, but he was in love when he used Instance on my 920, he like's the app way more then the official Android one, so he is going to buy a red 920 from the german Amazon at a very good price point of 330 euro's, you can't get any better for that price :p

Take care about instagram for Windows Phone users. They're deleting every photo uploaded by non-official apps. I had #2instawithmassivelove app and noticed this after my sister has all her photos only visible for her. So when I checked my account I saw that my photos were visible just for me, and to others seems that had no photos on my user. So I deleted my account on Instagram and now I'm using WeChat as a substitute both for WhatsApp and Instagram.

That '1' on my Store icon really bugs me too, and not to forget that I have to resist tapping 'update all' when there are several updates. I update each individually. But, totally worth it. I'm gonna keep that YouTube app as long as I can. :-)

Since we are talking about message applications updates I shall mention that Viber was also updated this week. I didn't noticed any evident addition but notifications seem to be working just fine as of now.

BTW - Even after update it still suffers from
1. Delayed notifications
2. Scrolling to previous message while in chat bug
3. inability to share multiple pictures at once (at least sending 5 at once will be very helpful)
4. inabilty to save a recieved video
5. inability to send a pre-recoded video

i cant connect to this app in iran!!!!
when i input my phone number ...
show this error :::: could not connect to whatsapp. please check your network setting and try again later
but my net work very well.

Anyone know what is wrong with my L920, I'm not getting any apps updates alert for almost one month. And also,when is windows going to roll up update,soooo damn long for them to update,quite fed up. Lucky Nokia hardware is doing all the good things.

No big deal honestly WP platform needs to evolve a lot. My 920 doesn't show app updates either. Unless I see from wpcentral or wmpoweruser. Then manually go and update.. plenty of issues in the OS itself, occasional freeze, restarts are common.. Sometimes I get so annoyed that I do ask.. Do I really needed to try this OS. Hopefully 8.1 irons out issues.. But we just keep hoping the next OS will fix it ..

My Nokia Lumia 920 is at Nokia hq :( missin it badly! had to deposit my phone at nokia care cz of this blank screen problem..cant access search, messages, mail, settings and camera.. all it shows is loading with those five dots running for couple f seconds and then back to homescreen :(((
